Careerline Tech Center



The Building Trades program of Careerline Tech Center purchased a plan from Visbeen Associates and their students worked to build the house. Students do the rough and finish carpentry on the house, as well as the roofing, insulation, siding and concrete work. They build the deck off the back of the house and install all windows and doors. Congratulations to these students on a job well done!

Reynard


Reynard was built by Jeff Segard, Grand Concept Homes and the photographer was Megan TerVeen. For more photos, check out our website. Here's a write up:

Designed to make the most of a waterfront site, the four-bedroom, five-bath Reynard would be at home in any setting. A large welcoming foyer leads to a spacious open living area. Two wings radiate from the living room – one with private spaces such as bedrooms and baths, the other with a large kitchen, dining room and home management center. Two decks and a hearth room make outdoor living easy. A casual lower level contains two additional bedrooms, a family room, and a cozy screen porch.
